Inital purpose
|
Optimisation of the development corridor from today till 2050 under political boundaries like co2 emission targets, emission certificate prices (that are set in the framework);Standard parametrisation of several European countries Operation and unit dispatch on hourly basis of the whole optimisation time span;Time series for Renewable Energy Generation with support for lookup table to simulate location details of optimal generator locations (wind) or less optimal sites; Flexibility of model settings to investigate targeted time span based on existing components, new investments, green field; Operation on hourly basis, but flexible adaptions can be implemented Investigation of need for long term, seasonal storage, synergies of renewable generation with different storage types; Investigation of policy effects on system structure like co2 emission allowance cost development trajectories, phase out of technologies, retarded investment incentives on certain technologies

Research questions
|
What does the optimal system development pathway look like to reach Co2 mitigation targets from today towards year x ?, What does the power system configuration in year x look like?, What are the generation prices for technology X in an optimal system look like and is it competitive with other carriers?, How is the demand for storage in a specific year; in what year is investment into long term storage inevitable?
